I've been trying to eat more lean meats (i.e. chicken breasts) and I end up essentially pan frying them in some olive oil and they always turn out tough and bleh. I've also tried roasted chicken (just straight up oven roasting) and it turns out tough and dry.
Does chicken benefit from crock pot cooking (like, is the meat super tender)? I might try that next...

just get the rotisserie chickens from costco. theyre always juicy and delicious lol. chicken breasts are always tricky but yes, they will work in a crockpot on low heat settings. if you wanna be fancy sous vide is also very useful but takes forever.
